What A Week It Has Been
I have to say I had intended on updating as the week wore on. What I had underestimated was how tired I would feel after my surgery. I had a surgery on Sunday last week, 9 days ago. Then due to a reaction of a drug I had taken I bled into my belly. I […]
MoreOh Wow
Well we did it! Got to the end of Saturday and survived. After my last update there was so much happening. The children, well two of them, had their final GCSE exam. They were studying physics, it’s over now much to their delight. I told them if they pass good they don’t have to study […]
MoreTuesday Times
Tuesday today and I realise I haven’t updated my website in several days. The time has flown and I’ve been flat out working in my house. We’ve been painting and clearing stuff away. There’s a lot of jobs I needed to get out of the way this week as come the weekend I will be […]
MoreFriday Findings
Friday, the last day of the ‘working week’; for some anyway. A mother, wife, housewife’s job does not have weekends off. I do not complain though as I enjoy my job, it just makes a good opening for a post. Last time I had updated we had been out for the day and Sol had […]
MoreChildren Always Have Us Worried
Continuing on with my update, I started a new post because the last one was picture heavy and I know from looking at others blog posts that more than half a dozen photos is hard to scroll. We ended up getting back very late last night so the children were still tired today. I also […]

Kids Stuff
**** This post is out of sync with the others. It should have been posted on Monday, and it’s Friday now. I’m not sure what happened, but I just found it in my drafts folder. Maybe I saved it for a reason, whatever that reason is I can’t remember now. So here’s Monday’s update, a […]

Detox Tea And Yet Another Bake
I bake so much you guys must think I am always eating. I don’t eat everything myself, there’s six in my family plus a couple extras that hang around a lot. I usually have a slice of everything I make and the rest is eaten by everyone else, sometimes I share with neighbours too, sometimes […]
MoreRain today & Baking Kentish Huffkins
What awful weather we have today, rain! It’s always raining here, roll on the springtime and we can get outside properly and get an airing. Today was another trip to Belfast, from where live if there’s no traffic it’s about 40 minutes drive. Other half had a hospital appointment to see about an issue he […]
MoreMuesli Crunch Bread
Today was pretty low key as far as Fridays go. We had to go out this afternoon and pick up a Mother’s Day card for my other half’s mum, he forgot last year and was in the bad books for a week so I made sure he remembered this time. We also had to go […]
MorePlastic Surgery Check Up
I didn’t bake today, much to everyone’s surprise. I did make a huge pot of curry which was a big hit and got on with other things. One of the reasons I didn’t bake is because I had a hospital appointment. I had plastic surgery on my face, I’m not sure if you can remember, […]
MoreShortbread Cookies
Last night was an experience I’d rather forget. I have had shoulder pain off and on all week, I had put it down to an injury I had got last year when I fell on a grassy bank. A few months back I had what is known as a gall bladder attack, an x-ray showed […]
